While there are similarities the Wagner vs. Harden are two different cases. First of all in age and then really the most important piece. the positions. A starting pitcher with average talent is of more value than a relief pitcher of average talent. So simply be default without any variables automatically Harden > Wagner. Factor in age, potential for decline or progression Harden blows away Wagner. I agree completely Taylor. While there are similarities the Wagner vs. Harden are two different cases.

I think the difference is chiefly than Harden is young, has more upside, and is a starter. Plus he'd come relatively cheap. Ideally we'd give him a 2 year, 14 million deal, but that's very much wishful thinking. It’s funny, I would love a Harden signing even though he’s 100 times more injury-prone than Wagner.

You guys thought they would, but now it's confirmed. I don't like this signing much at all, as you said, he gets injured pretty often. It mostly has to do with the price though.
